Build Data and Load Data for a non-conventional Cadex R7 build

[a1b3rt]

the load data posted below is just for reference
trials were done on my recently-built, extremely accurate rifle named "the hair dryer"

action: Cadex R7 (why? it is solid as a tank)
Caliber: 308 win
Trigger: Cadex EVO DX2
Muzzle Device: Hypertap Standard (why? recoil reduction needed using ACOG - short eye relief)
Chassis: KRG Bravo (why? forend length, overall weight, and being a fixed Chassis/stock)
Scope (*): ACOG (why? i) large FOV ii) weight reduction)
Red Dot: RMR (why? 50-100 yd steel target)
Barrel: Bartlein 5R, 1-10 twist, Straight Double Taper Palma Style, 1'' at muzzle, 11.5'' long (why? to achieve heavy barrel and preferred rifle weight at the same time)

Good info, thanks! I am also able to confirm from a similar style build that hits out to 500 yards are still dead easy!
